 Unfortunately, when arriving at the airport in Havana, on my way to the taxi I tripped and fractured
my hip. I spent the next seven days in the hospital.
 Fortunately my assistant who is also a photographer and speaks Spanish took up the task of visiting
Marina Hemingway and Marina Gaviota and other sights of the country.
 Although I was in the hospital, I did have the opportunity of meeting with the people I wanted to
see while I was there.
 The following is a photographic journal of the trip as viewed by my assistant – Cecilia.
 Last but not least, I would like to thank the doctors, nurses and the entire staff at Cira Garcia
Central Hospital for their excellent care and kindness – Medical Services in Cuba are Excellent
